Cannot get JDBC Connection in Spring - spring

Question

I'm new to Spring and currently doing exactly as a youtube tutorial.
When I request the api by GET method from PostMan, I got following weird error.
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcher] in context with path [/SpringRESTFulExample] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.jdbc.CannotGetJdbcConnectionException: Could not get JDBC Connection; nested exception is org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'] with root cause
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

The tutorial uses JndiTemplate.lookup for connection.
Here is it.
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "springrestful_example")
public class WebConfig {
#Autowired
DataSource dataSource;
#Bean
public NamedParameterJdbcTemplate getNamedParameterJdbcTemplate() {
return new NamedParameterJdbcTemplate(dataSource);
}
#Bean
public DataSource getDataSource() throws NamingException{
JndiTemplate jndiTemplate = new JndiTemplate();
DataSource dataSource = (DataSource) jndiTemplate.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/springrestful");
return dataSource;
}
}
In server.xml of tomcat v7.0 , I do the following configuration as the tutorial except the database name.
<Context docBase="D:\zwh\WorkSpaces\JavaEE Workspace\SpringRESTFulExample\target\SpringRESTFulExample-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT\" path="/SpringRESTFulExample" reloadable="true">
<Resource
auth="Container"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
maxActive="5" maxIdle="3"
name="jdbc/springrestful"
passoword=""
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/springresttest"
username="root"/>
Am I missing something? I already researched about that spending three days but I only found unrelated stuffs which is not involved in the tutorial. I tried to change version of spring-jdbc dependency. But didn't work either.

Answer 1

I solved my problem after adding mysql-connector-java dependency to my pom.xml.
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<version>6.0.6</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

Try to add this dependencies :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
</dependency>
